Take Action Now to Stop Preemptive Nuclear War

Good news! This past July, the United Nations passed a treaty that makes the use of nuclear weapons illegal. This is the first progress in nuclear disarmament since the 1980's. And although all 9 nuclear powers and their allies did not vote for this treaty, 122 countries did.

But we can't rest here. As ICAN director Beatrice Fihn put it, "our mutual destruction is only one impulsive tantrum away." In Seattle, we are only 18 miles from the largest concentration of nuclear weapons in the US. And the sole authority to launch those weapons rests with Trump.

Dear Senator:My name is [your name] and I am a constituent from [your city]. I urge you to cosponsor Senate Bill 2047, to prevent military action in North Korea without Congressional approval. Military action in North Korea would be catastrophic and deadly - diplomacy and prevention of a nuclear exchange is the only sane solution to this crisis. Thank you.
